25 Stunning Tattoo Ideas That Are Small And Discrete

For a tattoo artist, the body is a canvas. You can decorate your skin with illustrations of all sizes, from text to elaborate paintings. Personally, I have always wanted to get one, but can never make a decision.

There’s also the question of how obvious you want your tattoo to be. Do you want it to be clearly visible at all times, or more inconspicuous? If you’re leaning towards something on the smaller side, you have something in common with tattoo artist Witty Button.
Based in Seoul, Button’s designs are delicate and minute. Using mostly black ink and focusing on simple shapes and floral motifs, his art has a unique elegance to it. Here are some of the very best (and look out for the Harry Potter reference!).
